Meditate with the Sangha
Every Sunday morning, from 9:30 to
10:00am everyone is welcome to join in a short meditation
period as an opportunity for people to take a few moments to
calm the mind and reflect on their own personal journey in a
quiet environment. It is for both novice and experienced meditators. Basic guidance will be offered for those without any
previous experience.

Bodhi Day
At the age of 35, while
meditating under the bodhi tree, Siddhartha Guatama attained
enlightenment and became Shakyamuni Buddha. By his example, the Buddha
showed us that it was possible for anyone to become a Buddha - a fully
enlightened person. We commemorate this very special event on Bodhi Day. Calgary
will be recognizing this day on Dec 6.
Jodo Shinshu
Branch of Pure Land Buddhism founded by
Shinran Shonin. Also know as Shin Buddhism.
